A Mayor from Leyte went to the congressional district of Laguna to visit his political mentor. When the Congressman invited him home for dinner, the local politician was very impressed by the lavish mansion, grounds and the costly furnishings. He asked, “Paano po ninyo ito napundar samantalang wala kayong negosyo at maliit ang sahod natin sa gobyerno?”

The Congressman smiled knowingly and took him to the window.

“Nakikita mo ba Mayor iyong ilog?”

“Maganda ang view, nakikita ko po.”

“Nakita mo ba yung tulay sa ilog?”

“Oho, naman,” said the Mayor.

“10 per cent!” said the Congressman smugly.

YEARS LATER, the Congressman had occasion to pay a return visit. The Mayor lavished all hospitality on him. When they came to his house, the Congressman was stunned by the huge palace the Mayor had built, glittering with precious art, hundreds of servants, etc. etc.

AFTER THE SPEECH, the politician toured the town and saw a tremendous herd of cattle. Since he was raised on a ranch, and knew a bit about cattle, he asked the town’s community organizer if he could get closer to take a look at the cattle.

A Political party in Manila decided to spend a week end in one of Palawan’s high-end beach resort. Twenty politicians, all related to each other, were in attendance for the merry making. As evening fell, a group of terrorists were able to sneak into the resort and successfully marooned all the politicians and made them all as hostages.

The leader of the kidnapping group aired on radio his threat. He warned, “Bigyan ninyo kami ng ramson sa halagang 10 million o kayo rin, pakakawalan namin itong mga pulitiko!
